Per‑term detail and instalments

- The school operates a three‑term billing schedule with specific due dates for each term. The published term due dates are: Term 1 — 1 August; Term 2 — 1 November; Term 3 — 1 March. The enrolment deposit and re‑enrolment fee are shown as deducted against the Term 1 payment. The schedule lists annual tuition by year group but does not publish a per‑term instalment table on the Schedule of Fees page; term instalments are therefore not explicitly itemised there.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Key payment deadlines:
- Application fee: due on submission of the application.
- Enrolment deposit: due within 7 days of the Offer of Placement.
- Additional services: payable with the first term payment.
- Term 1 due: 1 August; Term 2 due: 1 November; Term 3 due: 1 March. Re‑enrolment fee due: 31 May.
- The enrolment deposit (10% of annual tuition) and the re‑enrolment fee (5% of annual tuition) are accounted for against the Term 1 invoice.

Sibling discounts apply as follows: 5% for the second and third child, 10% for the fourth child, and 15% for the fifth child. Only one discount per family applies (either the new‑enrolment discount or the sibling discount).

- Uniforms: uniforms are sold through the school reception (purchase hours and appointment arrangements are provided during admissions). No fixed uniform price list is published on the Schedule of Fees page.

Boarding

- Boarding is not applicable; the school's published materials and fee schedule cover day‑school tuition, transport and associated services but do not list boarding or boarding fees.

Refunds and withdrawal information

- The application fee (AED 500) is stated as non‑refundable at the point of application.
- A detailed, itemised refund or withdrawal policy (for example formal rules showing how and when tuition or deposits are refunded after enrolment or withdrawal) is not published in the Schedule of Fees or the site's Terms & Privacy page; a specific fee refund/withdrawal schedule is not available on the pages reviewed. The enrolment deposit is shown as being applied against Term 1 rather than described as automatically refundable. Where a formal refund table or withdrawal charges is required, that information is not included in the publicly posted Schedule of Fees or Terms pages examined here.

Fee payment options and bank details

- Accepted payment methods: cash or card at the school reception; bank transfer (IBAN and swift provided); and online payments via the school's payment portal. Specific instructions request including the child name and family name as payment reference.

Notes about information availability

- The school publishes clear annual tuition figures for each year group and the standard billing schedule and payment methods. The Schedule of Fees does not itemise fixed per‑term instalments in the same line‑by‑line format as the annual fees; the school shows term due dates and the manner in which the enrolment deposit and re‑enrolment fee are applied to Term 1. For a formal per‑term instalment table or an explicit refund/withdrawal schedule, the publicly posted pages reviewed do not contain a detailed, itemised refund table or an explicit per‑term pricing table.

AIS Dubai emphasizes a diverse international community; however, the exact number of nationalities represented and the local-to-international ratio are not publicly disclosed.
